Today she says the US needs a "not for profit banking system for the public"....uh, you dumb bitch. We HAVE a very large not-for-profit banking system in this country. It's called CREDIT UNIONS. Over 5,000 of them, every one operated in a not-for-profit manner for the good of the members.

Oh, and to top off this ridiculously stupid idea, she thinks the post office should run it. The same post office that lost $3.6 BILLION last year and is on pace to lose $5.2 billion this year.

Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

That was the odd thing about the tweet, other than the derision of the people actually hurt by the economic collapse. I mean, who wants to move away from oil when oil is almost free?

The part in the tweet where she says "record low interest rates"
that makes it a good time to "invest"

I don't see where she says anything about oil...

Just another example of her deep understanding of economics.

And I actually like her as a Congresswoman - I think Ibanez said it best, the House is where you want people to be loud and opinionated and even bombastic - it's meant to be noisy. With that said, this wasn't her finest hour.

That's a good point.

I also love how people get all bent out of shape about AOC and defend Trump or vice versa. They're both prone to saying/tweeting dumb sh!t.

Anyone have any context to this quote, or do we add this to the long list of stupid shit she says?
“When we talk about this idea of reopening society, you know, only in America does the president — when the president tweets about liberation — does he mean go back to work. When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say ‘no’ — we’re not going back to that,” she said.

“We’re not going back to working 70-hour weeks just so that we could put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives.”

Epitaph? I'm going to start my own religion. Adoring followers, money, tax exemption, oh ya! :winky:

How truly valuable is oil?

I’m guessing might be the underlying point.

One plausible answer is not very and not worth bailing out...if you believe in pure capitalism.
